jpress permission of his teacher, he shall assign the reason for

such punishment as may be deemed necessary. ,

prayers till eight o'clock, from nine till twelve in the forenoon, 
and from two till five in the afternoon ; during which time every 
student shall keep his room, unless called from it to recite, or 
by some urgent necessity, of which he shall always be ready to 
igive an account to any officer of the college who may observe 
his absence. It is also required that the students be particular- 
ly careful to keep to their rooms after the ringing of the evening 
bell, unless obliged to leave them by some cause that will obvi- 
ously justify their absence to the members of the faculty. 

5. At the close of each session of the college, every class 
shall be strictly examined on all the studies of that session, and 
at the close of each year^ on the studies of that year. The 
faculty may also appoint quarterly examinations of all, or any

trustees, but all such persons as the faculty or trustees may in- 
vite.

be deficient in their studies, shall be dealt with according to 
the nature and extent of the deficiency. If the deficiency be 
great, the party in whom it appears shall be put into a lower 
class : if it be such as can be remedied by diligence, the faculty 
may allow the ensuing vacation to make it up, and examine the 
party at the beginning of the succeeding session. If proofs of 
negligence appear in any, though it have not been productive 
of gross deficiency, the faculty may mention before the class^ 
the names of such person, and administer a reproof to them, 
and an exhortation to greater diligence in future ; those on the 
contrary, who shall appear to excel, shall be mentioned with 
approbation. And in awarding all literary honors and distinc- 
tions, a regard shall be had to the moral conduct, and orderly 
behaviour of the candidates for such distinctions.

ercises of the college may be appointed by the faculty, at such

benefit of this exercise ; nor shall any student be exempted 
from it, except on account of natural impediments or other dis- 
qualifications, of which the faculty or president may judge. 

2. The members of the senior class shall be excused from the 
above exercises, and in place of them shall each pronounce, at

stated times, to be appointed by the faculty, an oration or dec. 
lamation of their own composition.

of being refused his diploma. 

5. Nothing indecent, profane or immoral, shall at any time 
be delivered on the public stage, under penalty of such censure 
as the faculty or trustees shall judge proper. And with a view 
to preserve all the public exercises of the students from impro- 
priety of any kind, every student during the whole of his senior 
year, and previously to his commencement performances espec- 
ially, shall at least two weeks before the delivery, show to the 
president the whole of what he proposes to speak, and shall not 
fail to observe such corrections as shall be made of his perfor- 
mances ; and if any student pronounce anything in public of a 
censurable nature, in contradiction to the directions or correc- 
tions of the officer to whom he has shown his piece, the presi- 
dent is required to stop him on the public stage, and he shall be 
otherwise censured as the trustees or faculty shall determine.

moneys which from time to time may become due to them, each 
student shall be required to deposit with the treasurer of the 
college, at the beginning of each session, the full amount of his 
board-bill for that session. 



14 

From tlie moneys so deposited, the treasurer shall pay to the 
ieepers of the several boarding houses such sums as may be 
be due to them, upon his receiving a warrant for that purpose 
signed by the president of the college, or by any one authorized 
by the trustees to draw such warrants. 

3. No student shall change his place of boarding without pre-

ulty may judge to be necessary. 

4. The students are required to lodge in the college buildings, 
unless they have special permission from the president or the 
faculty of the college to take rooms elsewhere. The conditions,

by the faculty, unless the trustees shall order otherwise. 



CHAPTER XIV. 

OF DKESS. 

1. It is recommended to the students to be plain in their 
dress, but it is required of them always to appear neat and 
cleanly ; and if any student shall be grossly negligent in this 
respect, it shall be the duty of the college officers to admonish 
him for it, and see that he preserve a decent appearance.

for their religious instruction, suited to the age and standing of 
the pupils. These exercises shall be assigned by the president, 
and attended upon by the different officers of college, agreeably 
to the arrangement which they may make for that purpose, and 
no student belonging to any class shall neglect them. 

5. No student shall possess or exhibit any indecent picture, 
nor purchase or read in college any lascivious, impious, or irre- 
ligious books, and if any student shall be convicted thereof, or

ing at unlawful games, (such as cards, dice, and back-gammon,)

according to the nature and heinousness of his offence, by ad- 
monition, public reprehension, dismissed or expulsion from col-

of continuance at such places be greater than that for which 
permission shall have been given.

CHAPTER XVIL 

MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS. 

1. No shouting, loud talking, whistling, jumping, dancing? 
or any other boisterous noise shall be permitted in the entries,

nature of the offence shall be judged by the faculty to deserve. 

2. All blowing of horns by the students, kindling of bonfires, 
and disorderly gatherings, on the college grounds or elsewhere, 
are strictly forbidden ; and upon every occasion of open disor- 
der the students are required to repair to their several rooms ; 
and to remain in them during the continuance of the disorder. 
Any disregard of this rule shall be punished at the discretion 
of the Faculty. 

3. No student shall be allowed to disturb, or attempt any im- 
position on his fellow students, in any manner whatever ; and

or persons from whom it proceeded. 

4. If any clubs or combinations of the students shall at any 
time take place, either for resisting the authority of the college, 
interfering in its government, or for concealing or executing 
any evil or disorderly design, every student concerned in such 
combination shall be considered as guilty of the offence which 
was intended : and the faculty are empowered and directed to

of the meeting ; and signed by the persons making the request ; 



19 

who shall be responsible for the good order and doings of the 
class, or of all the classes, at such meeting. 

6. As it may sometimes happen, that a student may become 
an unworthy, corrupting, and dangerous member of the institu-

nality by formal and specified proof: it shall, in such cases, be 
the duty of the faculty, first to warn and admonish the party 
thus circumstanced, and if reformation do not take place, then, 
unless the urgency of the case shall forbid the measure, the 
parent or guardian of the party shall be written to and request- 
ed to remove him, and if he shall not be removed without un- 
necessary delay, it shall be the duty of the faculty to remove 
him, in such manner as they shall judge that equity and the 
good of the institution require.
